MOLOCH "MOLOCH" MOLOCH "MOLOCH" Ⓟ 1997 Blues Interactions, Inc. P-Vine PCD-5173 Made in Japan No obi, with commentary and lyrics "MOLOCH," a heavy blues rock band formed in 1969, centered around guitarist Lee Baker, who was active in the Memphis rock and roll and soul scene. This is their only album, recorded at the legendary Ardent Studios with early production by the renowned producer Don Nix. "GOIN' DOWN," composed by Don Nix, later became a blues standard covered by Jeff Beck and others, but this is its first appearance. The album features 12 bar blues tracks woven together by Lee Baker's fiery guitar, a fat organ, and high-tension drumming. While it initially presents a hard-driving guitar-focused garage sound, it's a pre-swamp masterpiece that conveys the raw, masculine breath of the South. ① Helping Hand 3:24 ② Maverick Woman Blues 3:03 ③ Outta Hand 2:47 ④ Same Old Blues 2:55 ⑤ Going Down 2:57 ⑥ She Looks Like An Angel 4:10 ⑦ Gone Too Long 4:30 Featuring – Johnny Woods ⑧ Dance Chaney Dance 2:56 ⑨ Mona 2:05 ⑩ People Keep Talking 2:47 ⑪ I Can Think The Same Of You 2:33 ⑫ Night At The Possum 6:02 Vocals – Gene Wilkins Guitar, Vocals – Lee Baker Organ – Fred Nicholson Bass – Steve Spear Drums, Vocals – Phillip Durham Produced by Don Nix The disc has a faint scratch in one place that doesn't affect playback, but is generally clean.
